Actually found all the DT vinyl, glitter and card stock worked really well with my Silhouette Curio. Blade set at 2 and all the risers in place and it worked perfectly, no messing around with any other settings was necessary. Possibly because the Curio is a more robust machine and you can lift the mat higher for contact with the blade, I had no problems cutting anything even smaller lettering and the glitter vinyl. Card stock was cut clean. Definitely worth it.

I have had the same experience with the DT vinyl. I haven’t tried the iron on yet but I do have some. I had problems getting the glitter to cut without getting eaten up an what mat to use it on. A older may or the light grip mat are better for the backing to not get stuck. Also the glitter is better for basic shapes an blocky letters. I definitely had to play around with the settings to figure out what worked best. But once I figured out what setting works best I had no issue cutting any of it even the glitter. The washi setting or even construction paper setting work.

I have had decent luck with DT vinyl. I've used the permanent on DT charger plates for "cookies for Santa" plates, on plastic bins, etc. I did seal them with dishwasher safe mod podge but I would have done this with any brand vinyl. I'm not sure if want to use it on items that get a lot of use but it's perfect for seasonal stuff. I've also used the removable for stencils and had good luck. I have not tried htv from there yet. I was surprised about your results with the smaller roll on the Joy as mine cut it fine. I agree that it's a waste of money to buy that size; that's why trimmers were invented-- cut that bad boy bigger size to what you need!! Thanks for sharing your results.

There isn't a residue per se but you can see the brush strokes. It takes SEVERAL coats, drying completely in between. Many, many dish washer cycles for coffee mugs I made for myself and hubby and still looking good. I have not tried DT htv and I'm not sure if trust it. If i go to the trouble of weeding a project for attire I want to have confidence in the product! I use htvront for attire. I think the cheap vinyl is best left for seasonal products that don't get a lot of wear and tear.

Dollar tree vinyl IS NOT good vinyl. It’s very thin and rips easily. The glitter vinyl drys out and doesn’t adhere properly and rips easily. The transfer tape is awful and doesn’t really pick up the vinyl for transferring. If you are using a cricut machine for the first time, then the dollar tree vinyl is okay to practice with. If printing something small, it will rip like crazy.

@@queenrae91 The difference between DT vinyl and the name brands sold elsewhere are night and day. I've tried using Washi settings, taking cutting pressure as low as you can possibly get it on tons of materials and I still have had nothing but problems with DT vinyl. Even with a brand new blade the stuff is horrible. My advice would be stick with name brand and avoid all the frustration with the cheap stuff. It's cheap for a reason. If you do try it though, don't let it put you off. Just buy a roll of the good stuff and you'll see how easy it can be. Good luck!

I just got around to setting up the third party CB09 with 45 degree blade - (the red capped one). Game changer and much MUCH cheaper. It cuts like a dream (even intricately) and it seems actually better than my autoblade! The dollar tree vinyls weed like a dream with this blade. Some tearing in areas I was pulling away, but it is really thin vinyl. I used a blade depth of 1 and just changed the force for glitter and the holographic metallic ones. (So far, for black glossy one, I used force of 15, the holographic one at 10, and the glitter ones, I used force 22) If you use this blade, you’ll need the blue adapter with the cameo 4. I was kind of intimated at first since I've only used the autoblade, but it is very straightforward once you get the idea. I am so happy with results. This blade works with Cricut too btw and you can get on Amazon and Temu that I've seen.

Haven’t used for a Cricut but I have found the larger rolls pretty great for hand-cutting with scissors or small utility/craft knife, kind of like a thin contact paper. They adhere well but can also be moved once or twice. Our mopping robot now wears a DT vinyl skin to match our favorite Battlebot, and it has held up really well for the past 8 months so far. #teamtantrum

The backing sheet stuck to my brother standard mat in just one place and i was able to save it with rhe spatula no problem. Mat was brand new figured that would be safer with folks mentioning the stuff not sticking to the mat ALL glitter foil is garbage for sticking to transfer tape so i use packing tape and it works like a charm 👌 I gotta say im impressed so far for a cheap vinyl....

I had to peel each letter off and place it by hand. Also really had to play around with blade pressure and speed in order to stop my letters from getting smushed while cutting.. but that being said i think its fine for small things. I dont feel it will hold up on cups or glasses after 1 wash at all but on anything else it would be fine
